Johanna Rose & The Dreamboats (Insta | Bandcamp | Spotify | Youtube)

Flail Records artist Johanna Rose is a New Orleans-based singer, songwriter, upright bassist, and street performer making music that lives somewhere between the stars and the gutter. Her sound - smoky, sultry, chaotic - walks the line between beauty and grit. With vocals that can cut or soothe and bass lines that feel like a heartbeat and a tightrope all at once, Rose builds songs that don’t ask permission. It’s jazz with a crooked grin; grounded in tradition but never content to stay there.

Johanna Rose’s new album doesn’t just tell a story, it douses a piano in champagne and gasoline and burns it at the crossroads under the full moon. Recorded entirely live in her New Orleans bedroom and told through a cloud of cigarette smoke and last night’s glitter,Chain Smoking Below Sea Level weaves between remorse and reckoning with wit and abandon. Declaring herself a “Real One” on the first track, featuring Myra Burnette on Guitar and New Orleans legend Gregory Moon Veals on Trombone, the introduction serves as a guarantee to the listener that the rest to follow will be Rose's unhinged, authentic truth.
